It goes without saying that your coach plays a big part in in your sporting life. With one word, you get to play. With another word, you sit on the bench. With the right words, you soar to new heights. With the wrong words, you get demoralised.
When coaches get excited on the sidelines, they sometimes say the funniest (or rudest) things! Here’s a collection of quotes Red Sports readers and the crew have heard over the years:
1. “Can you see where the ball is going?!”
2. “Do you want to play this game or not?!”
3. “What kind of pass is that?! You want me to slap you?!”
4. “Did I teach you to throw into the defenders hands?!”
5. “ni shi pen dan!” (Translation: “You are stupid!”)
6. “Do you hate your opponent?! Do you hate your opponent?!!”
7. “Why are you smiling? You very happy is it???”
8. “When he is going to score, you push him over! You go for his legs! You kick him! You don’t stand there and stare!!!”
9. “Har? ni zai pai zao ah? xiang ge mu tou yi yang!” (Translation: Huh? You taking photo is it? Stand like wooden-block like that!)
10. “Who teach you one? Your Grandma is it?”
11. “Move like a butterfly, sting like a bee, just try not to fall down lah.”
12. “Hey!! What kind of pass is that? You wanna come back to the bench and drink kopi with me?”
13. “You think you playing primary school ah?! You no brain, ah? Can’t see the ball coming is it?”
14. “Is the ball a chicken? If not why so hard to pick it up?”
15. “You so slow, cow go home drink milk already!”
16. “DAMN!!!! Your daddy should have went fishing the day they made you!”
17. “Walao eh! Got chance just shoot lah! Got so much time to fa dai and wait for opponent to snatch ball, ah?”
18. “Do you know how to run?! THEN DO IT!”
19. “Too fat ah? Cannot even jump 1/4 of a pepsi can! Jump higher!”
20. “You run slower than my grandmother!!!”
21. “JI DAN!” (you are a brainless egg!)
22. “You guys are so slow! slower than my grandmother who isn’t EVEN ALIVE!”
23. “You spike the ball hit the ant also will not die!”
